Undergraduate Standards

SAP review is done at the end of each term, including summer, after grades have been posted, to monitor your continued admittance to an eligible program and to measure both qualitative and quantitative standards.

Qualitative Standard: Grade Point Average (GPA)

  • Students are required to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0.
  • If your program requires a higher cumulative GPA, the higher requirement will be used to determine SAP financial aid eligibility.
  • Your GPA will be reviewed at the end of each term.

Quantitative Standards: Credit Completion Ratio and Maximum Timeframe

  • Undergraduate students must successfully complete a minimum of 75% of all credits attempted.
  • Maximum Timeframe - Federal and state regulations limit the length of time a student can receive financial aid. You may not exceed 150% of the published length of your degree credit requirements without completing your degree. Students who change programs or who are pursuing additional undergraduate degrees are still required to meet these timeframe requirements.
  • Information about courses, credits, grades, and other factors used to determine your credit completion ratio and timeframe are listed in the Grades and Credits section.
